[QUOTE="Jeffdachef, post: 8354475, member: 650438"] If you think bigger woofers are somehow any slower than 15s, you are sadly mistaken, its a myth thats perpetrated by a lot of the mainstream companies that underbuild their smaller woofers. Most top of the line underground competition companies use the same motor and suspension throughout the sizes and all the sizes have the same performance capabilities. the SA series uses the same motor on their 8" as their 15, no corners cut with the current king of research and development. In a proper enclosure, you should play metal no problem. I had 15s playing double bass pedal drums in a ported box easily. I've heard 18s on metal, its all in the box. I've heard 8s get sloppy as heck because they were in an inadequate enclosure. Main thing with sub sizes is cone area, loudness and efficiency. Any other sound related issues is within the enclosure and how the enclosure works with the car. The quick punches are in the upper bass frequencies so when you get your box designed, tune a bit higher, have the box on the smaller side so 3.5 cubic feet at 35-37hz should do great. [/QUOTE]
